It was the most blissful experience at Abhyasa Yogmath. I reached here unexpectedly and was glad to have had this experience which was life altering. Many thanks to Saurabh ji for being the most welcoming host,  and both Saurabh ji and Sumit ji provided insightful yoga and meditation classes. The property provides a conducive environment with it's serenity and peacefulness. I am looking forward to being here again soon.

I had a wonderful and enriching experience, even though my stay was short. Everyone was incredibly warm and welcoming, making me feel at home. I learned a lot, had some time for self-reflection, and left feeling inspired to incorporate yoga into my daily life. Truly grateful for the hospitality and would love to return for a longer stay. Highly recommended!

This place is a real haven for those who seek an introspective moment , connection to nature, to spirituality or/and also to all the wonderful people who visit this place. Saurabh Ji and Sumit Ji curate together  beautiful meditations and yoga sesssions, all with so much care and grace, the day goes by at the rythm of the ashram, the early mornings, the prayers, the meditations , the meals, the fire ceremony. The place is beautifully located far from all the noise, here you wake up to the sounds of nature every morning and to the smiles of everyone working/living in the ashram. I can't thank them enough for the memorable eleven days... as well as the team caring for the meals which were always tasty, varied and delicious... they were also very careful with my dietary restrictions due to a severe allergy. This is a place you want to come back to , that feels like home and where you meet beautiful souls you want to stay in touch with 🕊️ ❤️

I can’t express how amazing and beautiful this place is! From the people to the actual Ashram with the different activities. Learned so much about meditation and the yoga instructors were so dedicated and helped you in the positions and gave you alternatives when I couldn’t stretch a certain way because of a bad shoulder. Thanks so much for the beautiful experience Recommend it 💯! I will have them in my heart always! Thank you Namaste

Best place in the outskirts of Rishikesh.  Best place for yoga experience and feels like home. Food cooked is also delicious.  Saurabh ji and Sumit ji are awesome company to be with.  They have a great knowledge of the whole thing. They are down to earth, friendly, and great humans.  Best time spent here. Thank you for a great experience🙏🏻

A little piece of peace near Rishikesh. 🌿 I arrived at the ashram without knowing how long I would stay, and after just two days, I knew I wanted to stay for the full six-day program. The experience was wonderful, peaceful, and welcoming. The room was comfortable and well-organized, and the yoga teachers were professional, attentive, and adapted the practice to each participant’s individual needs. I’m so grateful for this experience and already looking forward to coming back! 🙏✨

היתה חוויה מדהימה, המדריכים מקסימים, קשובים ואכפתים. הכל יפייפה ושקט החדרים נקיים ופשוטים,מרוחקים ממרכז האשרם ומאפשרים פרטיות (צריך להיות מוכנים לחיות של טבע) האשרם באמצע ג'ונגל... האוכל טעים בטירוף! פשוט להתמסר

The six-day retreat at the ashram left me with so many beautiful moments that are still making my heart warm and full as I write this review from home. The ashram, being up in the hill surrounded by beautiful nature, was the perfect place to disconnect from the outside world. I love sitting outside my room during free time and enjoy quality me-time taking in the surroundings. I saw birds, cows, peacocks, monkeys, and different plants. The daily prayers, yoga and meditation sessions were great ways for me to connect with my body and mind. Saurabh and Sumit were wonderful teachers – you can feel they put their hearts into their classes, teaching us different things and giving us a variety of experiences over the days. Fortunately, it was a small group with 2 other participants, so together with Saurabh and Sumit, we got to learn about so much about each other’s culture and life, and at the end of it, I didn’t want it to end so soon, and felt like I was saying goodbye to great friends. Hiking to and swimming at the waterfall, watching the sunrise, enjoying chai and great food, are all fond memories I have. Shout out also to the team of chef and staff that took care of us, the priest who made the prayers so special and touching, and the 2 very friendly dogs Mira and Maya that always put a smile on my face. I hope soon I can return for a longer stay 😊

Ich habe am 6 Day Journey to Stillness Retreat teilgenommen und es war eine wirklich tolle Erfahrung. Das Ashram liegt sehr schön in den Bergen rund um Rishikesh, mitten in der Natur und fernab vom Trubel. Die letzten 15 Minuten geht es zu Fuß den Berg hinauf, aber die Mitarbeiter helfen mit dem Gepäck. Das Gelände ist wunderschön und man ist umgeben von Pflanzen, Affen, Pfauen und vielen Vögeln. Auch das Essen war lecker und reichlich. Besonders positiv fand ich die beiden Yogalehrer Saurabh und Summit. Mit ihrer offenen und herzlichen Art haben sie für eine sehr persönliche und entspannte Atmosphäre gesorgt. Insgesamt war es eine fantastische Erfahrung, die ich unbedingt weiterempfehle ☺️

It was a wonderful, once-in-a-lifetime experience to participate in the 6-day Yoga and Meditation Programme at the Ashram. Living in an Ashram and following its daily routine felt like a dream. Surrounded by such beautiful nature, I found moments of peace that allowed me to reflect, slow down and connect with myself. Waking up in the mornings to the beautiful singing of the birds was such a peaceful and relaxing way to start each day. I truly enjoyed every yoga class. Surab and Sumit, the teachers were very knowledgeable, experienced, kind and always willing to help and guide us. The Sattvic food was delicious. At the beginning, I asked the chef not to make my food too spicy, and he kindly respected my request. However, by the end of the programme, I had become so accustomed to the flavours that I was happily eating spicy food — and it tasted so good! All the staff were incredibly friendly, kind and welcoming, which made the experience even more special. I enjoyed every single day — from the morning masala tea, prayers, yoga classes and meditation sessions, to the beautiful waterfall excursion. Every part of the experience was meaningful and special in its own way. I left the Ashram with a grateful heart, beautiful memories and a feeling of inner peace that I will carry with me. Thank you to the teachers and all staff for making these six days such a beautiful and unforgettable experience. I will always remember my time there with great affection and gratitude 🙏🏽✨
